Training Shoe: Adidas Supernova Cushion

Great ride, snug fit.

The Supernova Cushion is a shoe that swaddles the foot. Wear-testers consistently re-ported a shoe that was tight and toasty in both the heel and midfoot. The thick midsole also had an insulating effect. In terms of ride, wear-testers reported that gravel roads felt as smooth as asphalt. When compared to the Supernova Cushions previous edition, the redesigned midfoot shank and additional flex grooves give this new model a smoother heel-to-toe transition. While heel fit is also improved, a poorly located overlay in the forefoot may prevent those who need a wide toebox from wearing this shoe.
